I curious thou just what game you hunt with a .50 cal Nitro Mag?
I have been working, so I didn't get back quick to you. Well, when you hunt dangerous game that is large you would use a .50 Cal Nitro Mag...Kodiak Bear, Cape Buffalo are the two that I used with it. Really any animal that has a large amount of mass.

Most bullets have a very rapid expansion factor on impact and don't work on animals that have a lot of thick mass. Cape Buffalo kill more people in Africa than any other species. They are very aggressive.

Most of the large bore rifles are either bolt action or double barrelled to avoid jamming in a tight situation and utilize large rounded full metal jacket bullets. It is about like shooting a small canon. Not a pleasant gun to sight-in, to say the least.

You could also use it to hunt elephants or rhinos, I do not hunt those particular species for personal reasons.

Hope that answers you question
